I used suspendThread and resumeThread APIs to stop and start the threads, whereas my use case is to lose the stack for the thread and restart it. Do we have any APIs to restart threads where global or static data is not lost while the stack is cleared?

Or set an even or flag that will be checked by thread procedure to return to the beginning. The exception mechanisms can be considered too.

2024-07-04T05:00:01.2366667+00:00 Thank you for your response. I understand the suggestion to resume and finish the thread or create a new one, but I need to restart the same thread to avoid losing any global/static memory associated with it.
I'm looking for how can we clear the stack of a thread on an event, keep the thread suspended, and then resume it.

2024-07-05T09:12:04.1833333+00:00 how did we verify that stack is cleared? and how can we check the global and static variables are retaining values.
